CONGRESSMAN WHO THINKS HE SECRETARY WILL
NOT BE IMPEACHED.
WASHINGTON, Feb. (SpCcaD.-Congressman
Adams OF Illinois, who is a member OF the House Com
mittee OH Banking and Currency which reported the
resolution, Secretary Mannings reply TO which has
proyoked SO much criticism to-day said: Yes, have
seen the reports in the papers that the silver men and
the greenback men are prepare articles OF mpeach-
ment against the Secretary OF the Treasury 1t viii
amount to nothing. One ground OF Impeachment Is
said to be that he has violated the law in relation to
the purchase of silver bullion another gound Is that
he has diaregardcd the law of August l. 1885 forbid
ding the use the funds appropriated in the Sundry
Civil bill printing United States notes OF large
denominations in place OF mutiated notes OF small
denomina tionS still another ground l. SAID to DC that
he has been dsrespectfu Congress III his answer TO
the Weaver resolution of inquiry Now, there may DC
question whether his theory OF th' SILVER oIon law:
do believe that he can he shown to have violated
the law in such to afford respectable grouhd
for articles of i.npcachment.'
As 70 IN. allegation that the Secretary has been
disrespectu the House III the first part OF ms re-
port" continued the Congressman mink the less
SAID about that the better. The tact Ia that Mr.
Weaver who introduced the resolution OF inquiry
the Committee on Banking and Currency when np-
proved IT, and the House which adopted It, gave the
Secretary chance be sarcastic and he improved the
Opportunity. The act OF August !, 1856, re'ers 10
United States notes. Tho resolr ton OF inquiry m
adj, erteny used the words Treasury notes inste1d OF
the words United States noes The secretary knew
well enough what meant In fact. greehback ia IN
one sense of the term treasury note ont accoiuhS
n the usage of the Treasury there is a meal differ
ence between them The Secretary chose to assume
that the resolution meant literally what it said ao-
corlngly lie goes solcmnly through abou SIX pages
of his TO show that be authority to Issue
Treasury notes OF any dencml alton, large or small
.Tne sarcasm was az parcntly too pondeIous TO be
APPRECIATED by the newspaper press: got my
copy of The Chicago Times this morning. IL con-
tans long editorial on the subject The Editor refers
10 the statement of the Secretary that he has no
authorty to issue Treasury notes. and says seriously
that this statement will surprise Congressman AMI
MANY other people too If the Editor will read the re
mort once more and take note OF the technical difer
ence between Treasury notes and United states
notes he will catch o1, as boys say. The House ana
the committee can take the sarcasm OF the Secretary
all the more good naluredlv the error which gave
rise to it seems to escaped the yigant scrutiny OF
the newspaper press
